Welcome to The Up North Bride

If you're planning a wedding Up North (aka Northern Wisconsin or Michigan's Upper Peninsula), you already know - it’s beautiful, peaceful, and absolutely perfect for a celebration… but finding all the right vendors in one place? Not always easy.

That’s exactly why I created The Up North Bride.

As someone who works in the wedding industry, I’ve seen how overwhelming planning can feel - especially when you're trying to piece everything together from Facebook groups, random Google searches, and word-of-mouth recommendations. There are so many incredible vendors “Up North,” but they aren’t always easy to find.

So this space was built to change that.

The Up North Bride is a curated wedding directory featuring talented, trusted vendors across Northern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. From venues and photographers to florals, beauty, catering, and everything in between - the goal is simple:

Make wedding planning feel easier, more organized, and way less stressful.

This isn’t just a random list of businesses. It’s a growing collection of professionals who care about what they do and show up for their couples. I’m passionate about highlighting vendors who truly elevate the wedding experience - because you deserve a team that makes your day feel seamless.

Whether you're newly engaged and just starting to explore, or you're deep into planning mode, I hope this site becomes your go-to resource.

And we’re just getting started. More vendors, featured spotlights, real wedding inspiration, and planning tips are on the way.

If you're a vendor in Northern Wisconsin or Michigan's Upper Peninsula and want to be part of the directory, I’d love to connect.

If you're a couple planning your dream Up North wedding - welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s make this fun. Cassy Laessig
